I will bring a smile;
a
big. big. big.
smile

frowns. frowns. frowns.
.
and when you smile,
I will die smiling;
die. die. die.
a little:
little. little. little.
everytime
you smile
.
I will call life:
life. life. life.
to tickle your moods
your desires
your passion
and I will tell life:
life. life. life.
to paint you with smiles
.
smiling laughter
smiles.
smiling eyes
smiles.
smiling lips
smiles.
smiling life
smiles.
.
and I will cry:
cry. cry. cry.
smiling,
because you are smiling
.
I will cry smiling,
because you look otherworldly:
otherworldly. otherworldly.
and unreal:
unreal. unreal. unreal.
.
I want to pocket your smile
dust it
wrap it tightly
and fist with my heart
.
I can't forget
I can never forget
